I have been suffering from irregular periods since I took "IPill" 5-6 months ago. I am gaining a lot of weight and today I got a report that my Tsh (thyroid stimulating hormone) has gone to 16 (>10). I am panicking please help me. Would I need to take thyroid medicines for life? Am I now a patient of thyroid? Is taking ipill the cause of it? Visiting a thyroid specialist with my parents tomorrow, should I mention ipill (which I can't).

Ipill is not the cause of hypothyroid so dn wry. No its nt necessary that you need to continue medicine for life long. And keep tract on weight. Eat healthy diet.

You definitely have hypothyroidism and need medication and it will clear the irregular periods also. THyroid can be treated by any physician and you have to mention I pill.
